Where to begin? I've been on tenterhooks since I heard that Steven Moffat was writing an episode for series 3. His previous episodes (Empty Child in series 1 and Girl in the Fireplace in series 2) have proved themselves to be the highlights of their respective series. I hoped that the brilliance would continue...
And it did. What an absolute cracker of an episode. How do you make inanimate objects terrifying? Well watch and be amazed. The science is fantastic ("quantum lock", "devouring a persons potential"). The scary empty house. The conversation with the DVD. A brilliant protagonist in the form of Sally Sparrow. And then the fact that the Doctor and Martha are barely in it.
A well deserved 10 out of 10 and I can't wait for next Saturday; Not for the new episode of Doctor Who but for Stevens 'Jekyll'...
